I mean amazing in the sense of how deeply trivial the whole argument seems and yet how heated it becomes, in the very real way that friendships and relationships often fracture in the real world. It won't take long to read, go ahead and power through it, and then come back.Īmazing, right? I don't mean amazing in the sense of inspiring (for example, in the sense of giving hope to millions of cancer patients). For example, h ere's an email exchange between Armstrong and then teammate Frankie Andreu from Andreu's wife Betty Andreu's affidavit (PDF). I did want to highlight, though, some more broadly interesting bits of the USADA report and Tyler Hamilton's tell-all book The Secret Race for those who didn't bother with them.įirst of note, and I must confess to feeling deep guilt for being fascinated by this material, are some of the emails between some of the players in this affair. This won't be my moral judgment on the whole affair, and anyhow that's probably the least interesting information I could offer up at this point given that most people have already affiliated themselves on one side or the other of the argument. It's old news by this point to most people, especially as most Americans only followed cycling for the years Armstrong was relevant. I'm still not all the way through the USADA report on Lance Armstrong.
